Please folks,

Son 40 yr with preteen daughters. Won't make contact with HPD mom. What's the likely
underlying beef? She used him for attention? Detecting some passive agressive behavior
masked with avoidant behavior. Oh, he married a hard core NPD spanish woman. She
is running block. Says he want's to avoid blowup. What say you? Tks! IW

Well, yesterday was the appointment with a psychologist near me who had experience in diagnosing Asperger's. The appointment lasted for about an hour and five minutes. It consisted of questions, and I guess her observations of me. I don't know what kind of questions they were, but I can guess that because she has experience in diagnosing Asperger's, the questions were used as the assessment, which were then used to compare to the DSM. When ...

Hello all,

I just got at call from my lawyer saying that the garnishing of my ex-husband's wages is final. Although this would be good news under "normal" circumstances, I am riddled with guilt. Why? I don't know!

On the day of our divorce back in 2006, when the judge asked if I wanted his wages automatically garnished or if he could pay me directly... my heart felt compassion for him since I make about ...

Hey. Looks like a lot of great info on this board!

I finally accepted my wife of just over two years has NPD. I knew something was up with her as soon as we got married (after dating about 2 years) and went through OCPD, Borderline, & attachment issues before NPD really hit home a couple days ago.

I always thought she was way to honest of a person to be NPD, but now I ...

Hello there. I found this forum searching around for some information to help with my relationship with my wife. I won't get into all of the details right now, as I'm still reading through a lot of the posts already on here. I must say this forum has already been very informative in a short time.

But one thing I would like some quick help on is some of the terms I see used. Can ...

histrionics in society, anyone know what the percentage is in north america

I heard that its hard to put a number on them as it can be quite high but noone knows because they evade treatment, and that it heavily correalates with bi sexuality I read on wikipedia? is that true?

Are there any famous people who you feel you identify with? I see this as a somewhat silly question, because not many schizoid-like people would be inclined to achieve fame. I can think of two writers, however, whose works I do identify with on a significant level: Charles Bukowski and Fernando Pessoa. Bukowski was a notorious misanthrope and alcoholic who starved (because he simply couldn't accept the nine-to-five lifestyle, and the people involved) until he ...

What tools, and methods do doctors use to test a paitent for Asbergers?

I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and ADHD...I never really felt like this was correct. I have the following traits and to me it seems like Borderline. I'm not really sure so I was hoping to hear if anyone else has felt these things:

1. Feeling fine but then something triggers an anxiety attack or a fit of anger...mood changes within seconds. Feels like my face is tingling and heating up.
2. Quick to be ...

Hello all.....noob here ;|,

This maybe the right place for me, but I guess that is yet to be seen. My issues perhaps encompass many areas on this forum, and this place seems big enough to discuss all these issues perhaps.

Anything I say on these forums are just my honest opinion, and never do I wish to offend anyone here. I am looking to be as humble as I can.

It will be difficult ...
